While some protesters claimed victory in what they called a disruption of port activity, a port spokesman said the demonstrations did not affect trade at one of the nation at one of America's largest container port complexes.

Mayor Bloomberg is planning Draconian new measures to crack down on what he calls the "disruption" caused by the protesters at Zuccotti Park, and he is citing neighbors' complaints about noise and mess.

Others may differ on that, but if you think having to move from the job/career you had to some partially make work situation (after a difficult and unpleasant transition process) that replaces income but probably continues the career disruption is indistinguishable as an economic event from being able to continue your career plans (which is what “avoid” would imply), then your understanding of these things is conveniently theoretical.
